Subject: EAA Chapter 1642 Father’s Day Breakfast Cancelled

Dear Friends, Pilots, Volunteers, and Supporters,

Due to the forecast for heavy rain, thunderstorms, and the potential for flooding in our area, and out of concern for the safety of our guests, volunteers, and pilots, the EAA Chapter 1642 Father’s Day Breakfast scheduled for Sunday, June 21, 2026, has been canceled.

This decision was not made lightly. The safety of everyone attending and volunteering at the event is our highest priority.

At this time, no reschedule date has been determined. Any future updates regarding a possible rescheduled event will be announced as information becomes available.

We sincerely appreciate the tremendous support from our volunteers, sponsors, pilots, and the community. Thank you to everyone who dedicated their time and effort in preparing for this year’s breakfast.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support of EAA Chapter 1642 and Marshall County Airport.

Please stay safe, and we look forward to seeing everyone at future airport events.

Sincerely,

This strategic marketing initiative is designed to better serve business leaders, regional industries, and private travelers throughout Lacon, Peoria, and the greater Illinois River Valley by providing a streamlined, professional gateway to private aviation.

By highlighting the specialized brokerage expertise of Air Charter Advisors, we are making it easier than ever for local travelers to arrange on-demand air charter flights departing directly from our 4,003-foot paved runway.

🔹 Mission-Specific Sourcing: The team at Air Charter Advisors specializes in locating and repositioning versatile aircraft—such as executive turboprops (like the King Air 200 or Pilatus PC-12) and very light jets (VLJs)—optimized specifically for our local runway and field conditions.
🔹 Economic Catalyst: Supporting our local agri-business, manufacturing, and fabrication sectors with rapid, flexible connectivity across the Midwest and beyond.

As Airport Manager Joe Troglio shared: "Our goal is to keep Marshall County Airport a premier resource for the community and a catalyst for local economic growth. By facilitating this connection with Air Charter Advisors, we are helping our local business leaders and private travelers find professional aviation services right here in Lacon."
